Ending client equity amounted to $314.6 billion, 10% lower than prior year and 3% lower than prior month, primarily due to an omnibus broker that is now using a trust company for custody.

Interactive Brokers registered 1.89 million client accounts in May 2022, 36% higher than prior year and 2% higher than prior month.

Average commission per cleared Commissionable Order was $2.66 including exchange, clearing and regulatory fees.

Commission revenue decreased 15% to $349 million in the first quarter of 2022 due to customer stock volume that dropped from an unusually active trading period last year, but was aided by higher customer options and futures trading volumes.

Net interest income decreased 8% to $282 million on a decline in securities lending activity, partially offset by gains on margin lending and segregated cash balances.
